A young girl and her family travel from the city to the country to celebrate her grandmother's birthday. Someone suggests that Arianne, as the only child at the party, might enjoy exploring the garden more than listening to the adults chat. Arianne is unsure what to do in the quiet garden, and she soon lies down out of boredom. But then she spots a pebble . . . and a grasshopper . . . and flies away on a dandelion seed pod into the cosmos as she discovers the freedom of her imagination. With very little text, this book lets the illustrations tell the charming story of a child carried away into a world much bigger than herself.

I love, I love, I love these illustrations! And the simple and funny text! It was such a pleasant experience to read this book. It tells the story of Anne, a young girl who is invited to her grandmother's birthday -Exciting!- except that she is the only children and that she has no one to play with... Arianne is offered to enter the mysterious garden of her grandmother, and from then on, a lush and vibrant adventure in the micro and macro worlds begins.
I would easily buy this book as a gift to picture book lovers. It's a very dreamy, funny and relaxing experience to read this book, all at once!
Thank you NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
